Evacuation Day is celebrated on March 17. This is the date that the British army was forced to leave the city of Boston after George Washington’s victorious fortification of Dorchester Heights. It was the first major military victory for Americans — playing a vital role in the war effort by boosting troop morale. It also made Washington — who was then commander of the Continental Army — a popular figure among Americans, and undoubtedly contributed to his election as the first President of the U.S. Evacuation Day coincides with St. Patrick’s Day, which many Bostonians look forward to with great anticipation.
National Farm Rescuer Day
National Farm Rescuer Day is observed across the world on the third Thursday in March. This year, it takes place on March 19. The day honors those who help farmers in need. When farmers fall prey to illness, injury, or natural disasters, farm rescuers help get the jobs done. They help farmers with seed planting, harvesting, and any other work that needs to be done at the farm. Farm rescuers help farmers by volunteering their time, talents, and financial resources. Their commitment is valuable. When the going gets tough, farm rescuers make the work manageable. Happy National Farm Rescuer Day to every farm rescuer for their selfless service.
Doctor Patient Trust Day
Doctor-Patient Trust Day is celebrated on March 17. This day is dedicated to the doctors who work to save lives by safeguarding the trust of their patients. Indeed, treating a patient means understanding the most personal aspects of their body and mind. People in healthcare are bound by the ethics of the medical profession to never disclose personal information about their patients. And, doctors are responsible for saving countless lives all over the world; they are responsible for healthcare — which is one of the most important trades in our world. Without proper developments in the medical field, the human population would have been reduced by more than half.
